Question Typical water volume
How many showers are needed per
day?
1shower = 10min×10l/min = 100l
How many baths are needed per day? 1bath = 150l
How much water is needed at the
kitchen sink per day?
1sink = 2min×5l/min = 10l
Are there any other domestic hot water
needs?

Example: If the DHW consumption of a family (4 persons) per day is as follows:
▪ 3 showers
▪ 1 bath
▪ 3 sink volumes
Then the DHW consumption = (3×100l)+(1×150l)+(3×10l)=480l

Energy saving tips
▪ If the DHW consumption differs from day to day, you can program a weekly
schedule with different desired DHW tank temperatures for each day.
▪ The lower the desired DHW tank temperature, the more cost effective. By
selecting a larger DHW tank, you can lower the desired DHW tank temperature.
▪ The heatpump itself can produce domestic hot water of maximum 55°C (50°C if
outdoor temperature is low). The electrical resistance integrated in the
heatpump can increase this temperature. However, this consumes more energy.
We recommend to set the desired DHW tank temperature below 55°C to avoid
using the backup heater.
